FADING CONTROL
Almost all materials used in the home will eventually fade
when exposed to daylight, with some dyes dan colour pigments
being more prone to fading than others.
Fading can be never be completely eliminated unless the
object is permanently kept in conditions of complete darkness
and at or below freezing point. Hardly the conditions suitable
for the average home!
Significant reductions in fading can be achieved with window
glass which in correctly selected to minimise the transmission
of ultra-violet light from the sun and to reduce the heat
gain in a room from bright sunlight, as the chemical reactions
which cause materials to fade are accelerated by higher
temperatures.
